La Popular is a stylish Mexican restaurant known for its tasty food and strong cocktails. The guacamole, enchiladas, queso fundido with chorizo, and tacos are particularly popular. While the portions are noted to be somewhat small, the flavors are praised for being authentic and homemade. The service is excellent, with accommodating staff who are willing to make adjustments for customers. However, it is recommended to make reservations for a weekend due to high demand.
Customers have praised the restaurant's ambiance and decor, describing it as having a "wow factor." The owner has acknowledged the service challenges and provided a gift card to encourage customers to return. The restaurant is encouraged to continue improving the food and service to match its prominent location.
Recent reviews highlight the Taco Tuesday specials, the delicious guacamole, and the flavorful rib eye tacos. Customers also recommend trying the agua frescas, the Salsa Tray, the Queso Fundido with Chorizo, and the Ahi Tuna Tostadas. For main dishes, the Short Rib Enchiladas, the Quesabirria, and the Torta de Carnitas are popular choices. The flan is a favorite for dessert.
